1.5 hrs. torquing the engine mount bolts and starting the external alternator install.

You need probably 18" of wrench extension to get to the top bolt heads...

Torquing a top bolt/nut.  As per the manual I greased (aircraft engine oil) the threads before putting on the nuts.  I then tightened the 4 bolts/nuts incrementally with a regular socket wrench.  Then I torqued them incrementally to 20Nm, 30Nm and then the final value of 38Nm.
The bottom bolts go in "backwards" and you can really only torque the bolt heads and not the nuts.

Starting to do the external alternator install.  JimP has good info on it here.
